Hey Bubba!’s Mission
At Hey Bubba!, we’re on a mission to put every owner-operator in the driver’s seat of their own business by empowering them with cutting-edge AI technology that streamlines freight booking, maximizes earnings, and eliminates the need for costly middlemen. We believe that independent truckers deserve better tools that work as hard as they do – tools to help them find high-paying loads faster, negotiate stronger rates, and book freight hands-free, all while keeping their eyes on the road.
Built for Truckers. Built on Strong Principles
Truckers First
We empower owner-operators and small fleets with AI-driven tools that put more money in their pockets and give them full control over their freight – no middlemen, no hassle, and no hidden fees.
Smarter, Simpler Dispatch
We believe in making freight booking effortless. Our AI handles the heavy lifting – from finding and negotiating loads to managing paperwork – so truckers can stay focused on the road.
Unmatched Reliability
We commit to being your trusted co-driver. Bubba AI works 24/7 with tireless precision, ensuring truckers never miss a profitable load and always have the support they need – anytime, anywhere.
Our Founding Team
Tapan Chaudhari
Founder & CEO
“We created Hey Bubba AI to be the ultimate AI dispatcher, one that understands truckers and works for them 24/7. Owner-operators and small fleets now have an AI solution that helps them operate independently, eliminating inefficiencies and boosting profitability. Hey Bubba! is designed from my decade of experience working with Owner Operators. Hey Bubba was inspired after my experience starting TruckX to be a leading Fleet Management provider to more than 10K Small Fleets and Owner Operators.”
Clarissa Luttmann
Co-founder & CPO
“With Hey Bubba, we are redefining the way dispatching work - for the first time bringing AI into the hands of a truck driver. The biggest challenge is how to encapsulate complex agentic AI systems in a beautifully designed interface and smooth user experience in the hands of owner-operators and small fleets. This brings my background in AI 3D event simulations for national security, negotiation research at Harvard University as well as years of building state-of-art driver-first experiences at TruckX full-circle.”
Aswin Chandrasekaran
Co-founder & CTO
“Hey Bubba! is at the edge of technological innovation - a first AI dispatch solution in the trucking industry! My love for technology started while I was doing my Undergrad at IIT Bombay and grew when I started my first company in Media Tech fresh out of college. Now applying my expertise in large language models (LLMs) to the complexities of the trucking industry is both exciting and humbling! We are using the latest LLMs to build an Agentic AI solution that automates complete back office tasks for truckers.”
